Sight Test
At Trotters Opticians, you will be guided through a 45 minute sight test with a dedicated optometrist who will take the time to understand you and your eyes better. We will go through your history, symptoms, eye health and prescription discussing the results as we go and giving you plenty of time to ask questions.
We also offer and recommend the Optomap at every sight test. This gives a much fuller view of the back if your eyes compared to standard techniques and cameras.
Myopia Control
Myopia, or short sightedness, affects about 30% of the population. Due to genetics and lifestyle changes, more children are developing myopia. High levels of myopia can affect quality of life and ocular health. Changes to lifestyle including spending more time outdoors and limiting screen time can reduce the risk of myopia worsening. Specialist contact lenses have been designed to slow the progression of the condition.
Optomap Retinal Imaging
An Optomap scan is a comprehensive image which shows 5x more than a regular NHS digital image. This machine produces a high-resolution image of the back of your eye in one single capture. This aids in the detection of conditions such as retinal detachments, diabetes and floaters. The Optomap technology was founded and developed in Scotland.
